OCCUPANT RESTRAINTS SYSTEMS
Some of the most important safety features in your
vehicle are the restraint systems:
•Seat Belt Systems
• Supplemental Restraints System (SRS) Air Bags
• Child Restraints
Important Safety Precautions:
Please pay close attention to the information in this
section. It tells you how to use your restraint system
properly, to keep you and your passengers as safe as
possible.
Here are some simple steps you can take to minimize the
risk of harm from a deploying air bag:
1. Children 12 years old and under should always ride buckled up in a vehicle with a rear seat. 2. If a child from 2 to 12 years old (not in a rear-facing
child restraint) must ride in the front passenger seat,
move the seat as far back as possible and use the
proper child restraint. (Refer to “Child Restraints.”)
3. If you will be carrying children too small for adult- sized seat belts, the seat belts or the Lower Anchors
and Tethers for CHildren (LATCH) feature can be used
to attach child restraints. For more information on
LATCH, refer to Lower Anchors and Tethers for
CHildren (LATCH).
4. Children that are not big enough to wear the vehicle seat belt properly (Refer to “Child Restraints”) should
be secured in the rear seat in child restraints or
belt-positioning booster seats. Older children who do
not use child restraints or belt-positioning booster
seats should ride properly buckled up in the rear seat.
5. Never allow children to slide the shoulder belt behind them or under their arm.
2
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 47

6. You should read the instructions provided with yourchild restraint to make sure that you are using it
properly.
7. All occupants should always wear their lap and shoulder belts properly.
8. The driver and front passenger seats should be moved back as far as practical to allow the Advanced Front
Air Bags room to inflate.
9. Do not lean against the door or window. If your vehicle has side air bags, and deployment occurs, the
side air bags will inflate forcefully into the space
between you and the door and you could be injured.
10. If the air bag system in this vehicle needs to be modified to accommodate a disabled person, contact
the Customer Center. Phone numbers are provided
under If You Need Assistance.WARNING!
•Never place a rear-facing child restraint in front of
an air bag. A deploying Passenger Advanced Front
Air Bag can cause death or serious injury to a child
12 years or younger, including a child in a rear-
facing child restraint.
• Only use rear-facing child restraint in a vehicle
with a rear seat.
Seat Belt Systems
Buckle up even though you are an excellent driver, even
on short trips. Someone on the road may be a poor driver
and could cause a collision that includes you. This can
happen far away from home or on your own street.
Research has shown that seat belts save lives, and they
can reduce the seriousness of injuries in a collision. Some
of the worst injuries happen when people are thrown
from the vehicle. Seat belts reduce the possibility of
